    B.

    scatter diagram

    C.

    bar line graph

    D.

    choropleth map

    How to approach this question

    Consider the type of data Danni has collected. She has pairs of numerical data for each house (number of bedrooms, number of televisions). This is called bivariate data. Think about which type of graph is specifically designed to show if there is a relationship or correlation between two numerical variables.

    Full Answer

    B.scatter diagram✓ Correct
    Danni has collected paired numerical data: for each house, she has a value for the number of bedrooms and a value for the number of televisions. The purpose of plotting this data would be to see if there is a relationship (correlation) between the two variables (e.g., do houses with more bedrooms tend to have more televisions?). A scatter diagram is the standard statistical tool for visualising the relationship between two quantitative variables. Each pair of values is plotted as a single point on the graph.

    Common mistakes

    ✗ Choosing a pie chart, which is for parts of a whole. ✗ Choosing a bar line graph, which is for frequencies of a single variable. ✗ Choosing a choropleth map, which is for geographical data.
